Unreal by Bruce Bernstein - Book

Bruce Bernstein has spent over three decades creating, refining and
developing some of the most devious feats of mentalism known to man.
He's become a trusted, go-to source for many of the greatest mind
readers of the last twenty years. He's collected an enviable list of
endorsements from nearly every great magician and thought reader of the
last thirty years. And now he's gathered together years of
thought-provoking, engaging writing into a comprehensive hardbound
collection that showcases his work in the finest possible light.

The book outlines mysteries with the most basic of objects: slips of
paper, cards, and money, as well as inexplicable feats of thought
reading: predictions, mind reading feats, psychometry, utility
techniques for obtaining secret information, cold reading scripts and
techniques, and more. Ten new essays compliment the tricks themselves,
each written specifically for this book.

All of the miracles described in these pages are within the skill set of
the average mentalist. No complicated sleight-of-hand or digital
dexterity is required. That said, a healthy dose of chutzpah may be
necessary in several instances.

It's all explained in a familiar, engaging style, expertly illustrated
by Tony Dunn. Unreal may be the book's title, but performing the
miracles it explains is most definitely within reach of everyone that
reads it.

256 pages in deluxe hardcover; all material newly edited and expanded and illustrated, with an introduction by Jon Stetson.
